Repent at Leisure (1941)

With the support of her wealthy New York City department-store-owner father Robert Cornelius Baldwin (R.C. in more casual circumstances), Emily Baldwin stands up her older fiancé Prince Paul Stephanie, whom she knows is just a fortune hunter after the fineries the Baldwin money can buy, at the altar, and with only her wedding dress on her back, runs off in search of true love, whether it be with a millionaire or a truck driver. She will only let her father know of her movements through New York City, while she will let her mother, who wanted her to marry the Prince, believe that she has run off to California. Emily believes she's found her man in Richard Hughes, whom she meets atop a double-decker bus being a Good Samaritan. While all he initially believes about her is that she is a model at a department store (she doesn't divulge her true identity, not wanting him to want her just for her money); all she knows about him is that he wants to get ahead in life by his smarts and hard work. The longer it takes Emily to tell him who she really is, the harder it could be for the two of them to have their happily-ever-after, especially when she discovers that he is a sales clerk at Baldwin's--and that job is on the line as Baldwin's is losing in competition with rival department store Buckingham's and Jay Buckingham is attempting to take over Baldwin's.
